## Chapter 1 teaser
### Forbidden Hand: Dead Man's Gamble - Chapter 1: The Discard's Last Bet

"Put the gun down, Kane. You’re shaking so hard you might actually shoot your own foot," the dealer sneered, leaning back in his velvet chair. I didn't put the gun down. I pressed the cold muzzle harder against the dealer's temple, though my hand was a mess of tremors. My skin felt like it was peeling off in strips. That was the thing about being a 'Discard'—without a soul-core, your own nerves started to eat you alive. "One more card," I spat. My voice sounded like I’d been swallowing glass. "Deal the damn card, or I’ll paint this table with your brains." Around us, the underground lounge of The Void was thick with the smell of expensive cigars and desperation. The high-rollers in their silk suits didn't even look up from their drinks. To them, I was just a glitch in the system. A fallen hunter. A piece of trash that had somehow crawled back into the room. "You've got nothing left to bet, kid," the dealer said, his voice dripping with fake pity. "Your crew stripped you. Your core is gone. You're literally betting with the last few minutes of your life. You know how this ends." "I know exactly how it ends," I hissed. I looked at the deck. Not the standard soul-deck. This was the Forbidden set—black-edged cards that whispered in a language that made your teeth ache. The house had rigged the game, obviously. They always did. But I didn't need a fair game. I needed a miracle. "Last chance," the dealer whispered. "Walk away. Go die in a gutter like a good little Discard." I didn't walk away. I slammed my palm onto the table, rattling the chips. "Deal." He sighed, a bored sound, and flicked a card across the green felt. It didn't slide. It cut through the air like a razor, stopping dead in front of me. I didn't even have to look. The air in the room suddenly turned freezing.
